I've finally spent a little time with input formats. I really want to offer a text => markup syntax since I find those the most comfortable way to write. So I settled on Markdown, which borrows heavily from email conventions. If you write in email style your post will come out as you wish.

The following filters are running on this site

FYI, here is the above list in markdown syntax:

I have the following running on this site
* [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax). also see [markdown extra syntax](http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/). provided by [marksmarty.module](http://drupal.org/node/9838)
* codefilter](http://drupal.org/project/codefilter)
* [urlfilter](http://drupal.org/project/urlfilter)

I looked around and some posts do look a bit different from before the filter. In most cases, you just have to get rid of hacks you used because I didn't have these filters! please report any problems or suggestions.

Good choice, Moshe...I was just thinking about this the other day. Lists don't seem to be working?

for some reason, you need a blank line above your list. not sure if thats a markdown thing or related to other filters that are running.
